Burglars stole cash and jewellery from homes in Finchampstead and Sonning

Jewellery and cash have been stolen in two burglaries across the borough.

The first incident took place between 3.20pm and 5pm on Friday, in Tanglewood, Finchampstead, when thieves got into the house through an unsecure window.

Once inside they stole £250 and jewellery, including a Gucci watch and a Baume & Mercier watch.

Two white men wearing reflective jackets and a small white van were seen in the area at the time of the burglary.

The second offence took place between 5am on Saturday and 9.30am on Sunday in Pearson Road, Sonning, when burglars smashed a window to gain entry.

Once inside they stole some jewellery and an Apple TV box.

Det Sgt Christina Berenger, from CID at Loddon Valley police station, said: “I would like to speak to anyone who may have any information about the above incidents.

“If any of the stolen property has been offered to you or you saw anyone acting suspiciously around the time of the incidents, then contact Thames Valley Police.

“We are keen to trace a white van that is shaped similar to a small boxed shape van, whose occupants were seen acting suspiciously in Garston Grove, Finchampstead on Monday, July 28. If you have seen this van around the area, contact us.

“It is very important residents also check their home security and make any necessary changes to make their homes more secure.”

Anyone with any information should call police on 101 or independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
